Philly's 10,000 Men Project a Nice Gesture, But Short On Action

Last October, the city of Philadelphia met to launch a project that intended for 10,000 black men of the city to come together and come up with a plan to take back the crime ridden streets. Nine months later, the program has 4 units with 200 men patrolling the streets.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the organization has lost momentum and become fragmented as many of the participants have decided to move into individual projects. This is a noble gesture by the men of the city, but it seems that it might be a better idea if Mayor Michael Nutter spearheaded this type of initiative. That is why he's paid the big bucks.
